Does my refund get to me faster if it come in on the Turbo Tax Visa card; or would it take the same amount of time as direct deposit?

You should receive your refund in the same amount of time using either direct deposit or the Turbo Visa® Prepaid Card.  The card is a convenient way to receive your refund if you don't have a bank account (and is much faster than having a check mailed to you).

The IRS estimates that 9 out of 10 filers receive their refund within 21 days.  Please note that the estimated 21-day period to receive a refund is calculated from the date that the e-file is successfully submitted AND accepted by the IRS – and not necessarily from the date the customer submits their return in TurboTax

Did you choose to receive a text, an e-mail or both when you filed your return?  If yes, then you will be notified.
